I am aware. Those cases number in what - single digits?! Statistically speaking I am much more likely to die of the flu.
However, communist governments have done that to millions. If you don't see the difference, I suggest you reexamine your principles.
- tokai 5y agoYou framed the question. Don't push the goal posts around by pointing to past autocracies. It might be a very small risk, but it is infinitely bigger than the risk from my own govenment - where the risk is zero.
- nickpp 5y agoThere are current autocracies too, not only past ones. Also communist, of course. And I was talking about my government, not yours.
- Ekaros 5y agoSingle digits is still single digits too many. Specially if all involved aren't punished by harshest possible means.
- nickpp 5y agoSure. But the original question was: do you think that that should worry regular folks more than the evil and abuse perpetrated by their own government?
